They are different mainly in size but also in their influence on phenotype. The smallest unit of genetic polymorphism is single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). SNPs represent a single nucleotide change between two alleles and might affect the gene expression. We have studied SNPs in three distinct fields as: (1) marker of risky patients after the organ transplantation, (2) diagnostic marker of patients with interstitial lung diseases (ILD) or (3) with uterine fibroid (UF). We have come to the following results. Ethnicity or even nationality plays a role in the distribution of genetic polymorphism. This must be absolutely taken into account when one would like to transfer findings of a clinical study from a certain nation or ethnic and applied them to his studied group for the comparative purposes. Our first clinical gene-association study has found that even gene polymorphism of the IL-18 gene may...
